SURVEILLANCE

add another half star to it. Definitely a let down compared to the debut , this is stiil having moments where the average proghead will find joy, notably Orion ( Be it too short though). The difficulty is to find a replacement to the driving force of Nash , having left after Black Noise to make a very strange solo carreer. Not that Ben Mink is bad , on the contrary , but my feeling is that on this album , he is still trying to find his space. The following album will be better. Destruction and Seventh Heaven are the better numbers with orion and Sofa but those would have a hard time to make the cut in the previous album.
